"The greatest gift you can give your child is another sibling." Pope John Paul II

We are alredy heading into the 2nd trimester of this pregnancy. The past 12 weeks were quite difficult for me, but I am thankful for a very supportive husband, a very knowledgable midwife, a little girl who reminds me what a privilege and joy it is to carry a baby, an encouraging pastor, and very understanding family and friends who helped me in more ways than one. Thank you. Thank you.

Dave, Isabella, and I got to hear baby White's hearbeat for the first time just a few days ago. Judy, our homebirth midwife (yes, we are planning for another homebirth, more on this in another post), estimates that the baby is 12-14 weeks in size at this point. Oh, my, another big one. And if baby White is anything like his/her big sister, we may very well have an early arrival!

Thanks for all of the good wishes that everyone has been sending our way.

About Me

Thanks for visiting! I am married to a very kind and very patient Music Man and stay at home with my two littles, Ballerina Girl and Little Man. I spend my time overthinking everything and accomplishing very little. While I am overthinking, I am usually chasing around a bare bottom while giving my absolute full attention to the musings of a 3 year old. Of course I am! I chop a lot of vegetables (after washing my hands of course), kiss a lot of chubby cheeks, and climb a lot of stairs for a living. If I find some spare change in a load of laundry, I consider that a Divine acknowledgement of my deeds for the day. I have a passion for preparing and eating foods based on the principles of Nourishing Traditions and learning (some of) the lost arts of homemaking. I am an avid supporter and educator of breastfeeding. Perhaps, most importantly my husband and I are both cradle Catholics seeking a deeper union with God so that we may help guide our children toward heaven. Here, I share glimpses of our life and random commentaries on anything that I feel moved to write about! Just trying to find my way! What can I say, I am terrible with directions.
